In this lesson's episode, explore how fear shapes modern life for entrepreneurs, leaders, and individuals alike.

Discover why rising competition and constant change, fuel anxiety, and short-term thinking,

understand how shifting from fear to purpose transforms both work and mindset,

and uncover how passion and supportive communities drive lasting growth in uncertain times.

Can we properly define what living in a state of fear is for an executive, for an entrepreneur,

for even somebody outside the realm of a professional environment? Because I feel like, as you as you walk through this, you're just saying that we constantly just live in the state of fear, fear of expectation,

fear of deliverables, fear of are we are we fulfilling what we're supposed to be fulfilling, doing what we're supposed to be doing?

What is the status quo for fear and fear in a professional environment right now?

Yeah, I think there, again, many reasons for fear.

But as part of my research, I've looked at the long-term forces that are reshaping the global economy

and society. And I think the impact of those forces is to create mounting performance

pressure on all of us. I mean, at one level, we're facing intensifying competition on a global

scale. And it's both at the level of corporations,

but also at the level of individuals. I mean, more and more workers are now worried that their

jobs are going to be taken by a robot or by artificial intelligence, and they're competing

for just to maintain their job.

So there's intensifying competition, there's accelerating pace of change,

things that we thought we could count on are no longer there.

And then if that weren't enough,

you've got because of all this connectivity we've created on a global scale,

we've got small events in a faraway place in the world that cascade into extreme disruptive events.

There I mentioned pandemic.
